Title: Hairstyle skin - Stars
Post by: jleerigby on October 22, 2003, 07:25:10 am
I was hoping to find some nice hairstyle skins here.  Does anyone have any they would like to share?

Well, in the absence of any new hairstyle skins I just did some minor tweaks with the default one to come up with this:

Download zip (http://mysite.freeserve.com/jleerigby/otherfiles/StarsHS.zip)

and a matching track info template:

The track info template is designed for use with tracks having Lyrics saved.

Looks nice . . . but your links for the Hairstyle skin both poin to the screen shot.

Oops.  Sorted now.  

I think this black and white look is great on a large plasma screen.  The plasma has a 4000-1 contrast ratio so shows up the list colors really brightly.  Consequently I changed the list colors to light grey instead of white.  White will look better on a CRT.

Hey Jlee,

I like the look of your screen shot (the track info template) - but when I use the skin the background is blue and the text is a little brighter blue (the same color as the text in your screen shot) - This makes is so I can barely make out the text - anyway to change the colors? Or is the backround (the black space looking one) not loading for some reason?

Sorry.  The background got...err..mislaid.  Try now.

Hey Jlee - working now!  Anyway to show the time remaining - i.e. countdown timer 1:41 of 3:21?  How about throwing the rating in there somewhere (if there is no rating - no show - if there is one - show the number of stars).  I was also wondering if it is possible to have the lyrics scroll?  (I don't think this is possible since I haven't seen it on any other template).  Very nice I like all the features that you have incorporated.

I think you would need to put this in a visualisation and insert the vis in the track info template.  I don't know how to do this but someone on this board will know.

Don't know about showing the stars but you can show the rating using TRACKINFO_INSERT_RATING.

That would be another visualisation if that's possible.  This is one I've created to scroll Lyrics:

Oops! This Vis points at a background image that is not included in the .zip file.  Until I upload it just edit the vis using visualisation studio and delete the Image section that points at background.jpg.

Love the hairstyle track info page - but "unable to display track info template". Do I need to be running the hairstyle skin in order to use the track info template?

Sorry if this is a dumb question - newbie ?

No.  Just download the Track info template .zip file.  Unzip it and put the Stars folder in the Directory with the other Track info templates.  From memory this is C:\Program files\J River\Media Jukebox\Visualisations\Track Info templates.  Have a poke around and you will find it.

Mad,

Will you share?  I'd like to try it out - though 1024x768 is too much for a television (800x600 is the max).

Thanks...  I installed them and really enjoy your work.  Have you considered packaging them and making them available?  While there is currently no Hairstyle repository (why not, JRiver?), there is a repostitory for track info templates ([url[http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/downloads/mcplugins.pl?type=3&start=0&end=10&page=1[/url].  I'm not sure how you submit, though.

Sure. No doubt there is all kinds of unecessary junk in the folders. Don't feel like trying to figure out what I actually need. Do I really need to host them myself. I don't see where to attach files.

Please post small images and a link to large ones.  Some people have modems or small screens.
